The Shopify feature marketplace

One thing that comes up over and over again is sceptic question on Shopify and SEO. First of all, there is no reason why Shopify should be doing worse on Google than any other site. Google has a lot of factors that are taken into account while ranking pages, there is a nice overview here: The technical aspects, listed in “Architecture”, are all handled perfectly fine from Shopify. What is really important though is to keep the reputation that has been built up over time is kept when you migrate from another system to Shopify. The key to take...

This post is for the people who come from the “about us” page and thought: Hey, those guys seem interesting, I have to know more about them. So here is how we see ourselves, what we think we want to do and our motivation of all this.
